How to make Mid-Autumn Cake

The deterioration of living environment and the increase of study and work pressure are slowly eroding our health, so health preservation actions are urgent.

1.12A Preparation of Dough for Leather

2.21 Recipe ratio: 350g syrup, 150g peanut oil, 500g flour, 25g custard powder, 10g soap water

3.1B Filling, filling and molding

4.2 Add alkaline water to the syrup and mix in one direction. Then slowly pour in the peanut oil and mix until it becomes emulsified. Add custard powder and 40% low flour, mix well and let it stand for 30 minutes. Add remaining 60% of flour, knead into a smooth dough and let it set aside for 10 minutes. In the actual production process, I found that the dough was very sticky, so I added about 80 grams of flour privately.

5. Filling: According to the process requirements, the skin-filling ratio is generally 1:9 to 2:8, to reflect the characteristics of Cantonese soft-skin mooncakes with thin skin and full filling.

6. I am not that skilled. For stuffings like chestnut and mung bean paste, I use a ratio of 50 grams of stuffing to 20 grams of wrapper. The five-nut filling I wanted to make was hard in texture, and the date paste and raisin fillings were too sticky, so I used the method of dividing these fillings into 40 grams of filling and 30 grams of skin. I made about 70 pancakes in total, and it took me about an hour to cut them.

7. Stuffing: When stuffing, the skin should be pressed flat and the joint should be smooth and even. Use as little flour as possible in the skin. If there is too much flour on the skin, it will turn white when baked. If there is too much flour in the stuffing, the stuffing and skin will separate when baked.

8. Mold: When placing the cake embryo on the cake mold, press it evenly to make the cake shape have clear corners and smooth edges, and the pattern is exquisite. At the same time, pay attention to the flatness of the cake shape when it falls off, and it should not be skewed.
